Go to RA and Dec position on AZ EQ6

Hi all,

Is there any way in which I can input RA and Dec coordinates to a V3 hand controller for the AZ EQ6 and get it to slew to those co ords? Essentially go to these co ords, instead of go to this object.

I can't find a way to do it, although my arguably lower calibre SE Celestron mount can. Must be a way, surely!

Go to "user defined object'. It will at first show the current coordinates, which you can then edit and save to a memory location. Then it asks if you want to slew to the object.

Thanks, will try that. Seems an odd way of doing it but if it works... 

Actually I think it makes sense. Say one evening you have a new target, a comet perhaps, you enter the coordinates only once. You can go back to it at your convenience without the re-input. Also you could enter the coordinates during the day and they are saved, perhaps a whole list of positions or objects (20 I think is the max?)
